FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS


How do I know if I have bedbugs?  There are a few ways to determine if you have bed bugs.  Some people have a skin reaction.  At times you can see the bed bug infestation when looking carefully at the mattress and boxspring.  Properly identifying the insect is important. (Please see our picture library)


If I have bedbugs does that mean I have to throw out all my stuff?  Generally all your belongings can be treated properly.   In severe cases of infestation we may recommend that a certain piece of furniture be discarded.  This will help in successfully elimination the problem.


If I have a mouse does that mean that I have more than one?  No you do not necessarily have more than one.  A single mouse could have walked in an open door.  If not taken care of even a single mouse problem could develop into a larger problem quickly.  The odds of a female mouse being pregnant are probable and she has a litter of approximately seven mice every month.  Your small problem will develop rapidly. 


Do you fumigate for mice or insects?  Actually the term fumigation is usually used incorrectly.  Fumigation has to do with dangerous gases. The term treatment is used for mice and insects.  There are many different treatments offered by your pest control technician for your specific needs.


I hear a scratching noise in my attic or false ceiling.  What could it be?  Generally your problem is squirrels, mice or raccoons.  Proper identification and quick action is very important to prevent structural damage.


I have squirrels in my attic can you quickly take care of my problem?  In my experience eliminating a squirrel problem takes time.  Often squirrels have multiple nests and are not always in the attic area.  It might be weeks before they re-enter the problem area which makes it difficult to catch them.
